A handbook of figure skating arranged for use on the ice; with over six hundred diagrams and illustrations . 2 ) Approximate equality of thehalves of the eights; ( 3 ) symmetrical grouping of the parts(4) curves without wobbling, skated to the end—i. nearly to the starting point. The free skating is marked: (a) for the contents of the ? TOgram offered (difficulty and variety); (b) for the man-net- of performance (harmonic composition, surety, pose,and movement, etc.) ; in each case with the numbers o to5, with the same values as in the prescribed figures. The number of points for free figures plus the number ofpoints for compulsory figures, gives for each skater individ-ually the total number of points which he has earned fromthe individual judge. Each judge ranks the competitorsaccording to these total points, and the final resjlt is obtainedby adding the ranking ordinals (the lowest winning).
